Yolanda Saldana Feliz, 53, was stabbed to death in a Newham home shortly after 3:30 a.m. on October 23, while a 30-year-old woman was also stabbed during the same incident.
Miguel Angel Alvarez Florentino, 38, was named a suspect, as police launched a murder investigation.
Last Friday, detectives noticed the body of a man in a river near Blaker Road, Stratford.
The body was pulled from the water and the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Formal identification has yet to take place, reports MyLondon.
However, Metropolitan Police officers were certain that the body is that of Florentino, and his death is being treated as unexpected, but is not believed to be suspicious.
Yolanda was stabbed to death in a house on Windmill Lane, while the other stabbed woman remains in hospital where she is recovering from serious injuries.
